Stairway to Heaven (click graphic)

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed [on live versions this is usually: ... if the stars are all closed] With a word she can get what she came for And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who standing looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May Queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Remember, the Canteen is a family friendly place. We welcome the military, our allies, and their families.Continued prayers for the success and completion of your mission. Prayers for your safe return home.

Here in New England where I live, baseball is a near-religious pursuit. Even if it were against the law to talk about the Boston Red Sox while at work, the fans couldnt stopthey love their team that much.

That raises a question in my mind for Christians: Are there times when a Christian shouldnt talk about God? I think so. In the face of insincere challenges to our faith, silence may often be the best response. In the hostile situation of Jesus exchange with Caiaphas, He chose silence at first (Matt. 26:63). He understood that Caiaphas wasnt interested in the truth (v.59). While we dont always know anothers heart, we must be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit in every situation that we may know how [we] ought to answer each one (Col. 4:6).

Also, if an answer to a question will move the discussion down a rabbit trail and away from Christ, we might want to stop the conversation and pick it up another day.

Are there other times when silence may be best? If talking about faith distracts us or co-workers from performing our job, we should stay focused on our work. Or if someone has shown a continual resistance, we might choose to stop pressing them. Remember, we can be a witness of Gods grace with our conduct as well (1 Peter 3:1-2).

Dear Lord, we want to be a testimony for You.Give us wisdom to know when to speak or not speak,and what to say or not say. Thank You, Holy Spirit,for Your direction today.
